I enjoy consulting a lot but I have to admit it’s an ambition deflator. Since it’s the easiest money around, if it’s working well enough to cover basic expenses, it drains motivation to do anything requiring building or longer-term planning.

What if you solve a difficult problem very quickly, with an original (not recycled) solution, saving the client a bundle. How do you bill for that? (I know you've referred to this question before.)

Treat it as good karma that will come back to you. No different from employees who make big inventions or sales ideas.

If you come up with a great solution to someone's problem, you want to maximize the reputation enhancement, not the fee. Would you ever ask a client to pay what they think it's worth?

No that’s the other extreme. I’m in hourly-billing philosophy camp. I think quantifying delivered value is a fool’s errand.
